Lauren Yvonne Townsend

Producer Creative Director Writer

She/Her.

I want to make exciting things happen. I want all people to have the opportunity to experience the magic of art and creativity regardless of their background or social circumstances.

The majority of my experience has been as part of a producing team within a venue/arts org, but I am now in the early stages of my career as a freelance producer. I have a focus on theatre and film, but also have experience and interest in live events, media, community arts, visual arts, music, and exhibition.
